Breakfast was excellent. The thai restuarant was very good
Sri LankaOh my old fashioned colonial pomp and luxury. Rooms ( we had the smallest) are a bit worn and dated, but the beds are comfy, linens and towels nice. Building gorgeous, food very good and the variety and presentation of the buffet breakfast and dinner are astounding. The pool is wonderful. The staff is zealous and kind. The overall impression is that you are roaming through a wonderful old mansion.
United States of AmericaThe location is perfect all the good restaurants are on the same property. If you want to buy tea it is best to buy them from the mini mart that is just down the road or any other store, but don’t fall into the trap of CEYLON government board shop their prices are triple than other stores and even the airport. You can find all their products around town and in Colombo.
United KingdomOld historic property with great history & a flare for the grandeur of what was the pompous British occupation of decades past. The breakfast is sumptuous. The rooms rather dated with beds which almost sink to the floor when you get into them (some updating needed here). Beautiful grounds & lovely high tea.
United States of AmericaWe were not planning to stay at the grand hotel, we went only for the high tea but we felt in love with the atmosphere and changed our plans to stay there. It was an amazing stay! Hotel gives old English vibes with mesmerising view. The Thai restaurant was extremely yummy!
United Arab EmiratesAll Meals were more than excellent... The location is very beautiful & the Staff were very polite, friendly & resourceful... Specially Mr.Roshan (Grand Master) was very helpful !!! The Place is just amazing... I was on my honeymoon there & I'll definitely visit "The Grand" again, specially for my 1st wedding anniversary...
Sri LankaStunning hotel, lovely grounds and very charming. Great staff and facilities and quaint little rooms.
United KingdomVery posh modern hotel, amazing service, view, amenities! Good food and a very attentive and friendly staff.
United States of AmericaVery well maintained - remains classic and beautiful. Staff were kind and friendly. The room was comfortable and excellent bed and pillows.
